Result: 3.8/5.0 One weeper and a little irritation on left neck hollow. I needed to apply the shave soap in patches due to a little fading. No big deal but I think it might have contributed to the rough patch. The weeper was a bad angle at the base of my neck. This soap may be my first condidate for a soap/KMF cream scream test.
